A Relation Between Gravity in $(3+1)$--Dimensions and Pontrjagin Topological Invariant

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-07-22 v2

Abstract

A relation between the MacDowell-Mansouri theory of gravity and the Pontrjagin toplogical invariant in (3+1)(3+1) dimensions is discussed. This relation may be of especial interest in the quest of finding a mechanism to go from non-dynamical to dynamical gravity.
